Was just in the plaza with my old store a few hours ago. Selling DVDs 2 for $6. But it looked to me like most of the store was taken up by non-CDs now. Too bad. The DVDs alone may have taken up more floor than the CDs. And their vinyl selection was half of what Sunrise had.

I get the lack of vinyl. It’s still new to them.
They also don’t have the huge buying power of the Sunrise chain.

In fairness, I also find Sunrise to be filled with a ton of non music stuff. Tons of movies, clothing, knick knacks and junk I don’t look at. Plus Sunrise stores are much bigger, so they can have more music due to larger floorplan.

The difference for me is the buying experience. I hate pop music shit, so I don’t want to listen to it while record shopping. However, since the biggest market is the teens in a mall, they appeal to that demographic. I have a teen girl, and she’s awesome, but I do find them to be quite annoying when they cramp me in the record bin area.
